  1. Need Help MIMAKI CG160FX CONTOUR CUT

    its most likely your target setting. Function Button > select setup > select mark detect > fiddle with settings
  2. 3M 1170C? Where is it? What is going on? Waiting over 2 weeks for order?

    oh it works. cast & clear, is all you need. matte/satin is only thing that inhibits the reflectability.
  3. Broken Manifold

    you can buy new manifolds from printer part suppliers or simply go to ebay. like $40 vs. $$$ for a new printhead. on my Dx4 printheads, it was just two screws and a rubber seal/gasket that secures it to the printhead. still a pita to replace, as you have to remove/reinstall the printhead as...
  4. Need Help HP alignment sheet (l25500)

    that alignment sheet is for automatic alignment. you don't do anything but throw it away.
  5. 3M 1170C? Where is it? What is going on? Waiting over 2 weeks for order?

    4-7day availability listed on website, so it was most likely a drop-ship from 3M. p.s. $1k for overlam?!? I'd use this stuff if I absolutely needed the clear liner, but 3M 8518/8519 is nearly the exact same thing but with a paper backing....and at half the price.
  6. The joys of offering a first Proof . No Charge. Need to rethink. I think

    i feel like ALL first-draft's should be done this way, and then an actual 1st layout provided after downpayment to cover design costs if tire-kickers take your quote down the street.
  7. RIP iMac Pro

    "get it while supplies last"...so that we can upgrade the OS and make the hardware obsolete within a year!
  8. Did Grimco acquire Midwest??

    Apparently it happened back in Oct. I had heard it from a delivery driver, but just assumed he was mistaken at the time. Makes total sense now, bummer or blessing t.b.d? I've been getting great service from my New Berlin Grimco branch, but always preferred Midwest for various reasons. I used...
  9. Well, it's finally happening...

    well if you're in a pinch, and get stuck with a demanding client that needs it wrapped NOW, send them up to me with your $16psf quote and i'll buy you a case of beer. ...i'll even facetime ya while i'm wrapping :)
  10. Nifty Tip - Save some $$ on patterns

    I've never considered it faster. much quicker to roll-out a sheet, than the up&down's of bringing coroplast panels into the mix. It has its uses, however, as i really only use coro for patterns when the wall is uneven masonry or an absolute pita to tape a pattern onto. provides a flat plane to...
  11. Nifty Tip - Save some $$ on patterns

    aye, but for the price of tyvek from Uline... you can get two rolls of 13oz banner material and still have money leftover for beer! i currently upgrade my outdoor installs to banner media unless I'm plotting on paper and spray mounting it to coroplast for even more rigidity when drilling...
  12. Edge Lit Acrylic Sign

    pics of intended project and some people here might have more useful tips, or shortcuts to take. I buy random sign stuff off of amazon too sometimes....so no shame there, but there are much better LED options available from a reputable supplier that stand behind their brands/product lines like...
  13. It was only a few days ago....

    same users were praising their $.03/kwH rates while all "those suckers" were fixed at $.09-$.12. Devil's always in the details. Better believe I'da been flipping my main breaker once I saw that rate climbing to $1...let alone let the bill keep running at $9/kwh!?! $300/day in energy costs, eff...
  14. Who makes the best UV LED printer for ada signs

    no, DCS just owns the patent for the use of a UV printer to build-up layers of ink to 3D print the Braille/Lettering...or at least the sale of a system that is designed for this purpose. If that's your direction, then I'm sure they're the ones to call in a pinch. Otherwise RasterBraille...
  15. Well, it's finally happening...

    i think some of your price difference may be in the vinyl: appears as if you marked-up 50yd rolls of media, printed&laminated, but two 54"x10yd kits would be more than enough to cover i think. make sure you don't leave vinyl bridged over the panel seams. apply-over it with your tiles, but trim...
  16. Temporary/Cheap/EasyRemove material suggestions?

    thanks guys! head was spinnin' where to start. that easyDot/glassApeel stuff is pretty neat. still got a sample here that Fellers provided a while back. feels/applies like static cling, but its just a lil' more grab. LOVE IT!
  17. Temporary/Cheap/EasyRemove material suggestions?

    After posting, I went to digging through my suppliers websites....currently GF Conept 208 Static cling seems like a proper solution. Came in at half the cost of other static cling options i previously researched.
  18. Temporary/Cheap/EasyRemove material suggestions?

    Got about a dozen 25"x66" tabletop glass shadowboxes, that the client wants to cover (opaque or high diffuse) from view, but quickly/easily remove on grand-opening day to reveal the contents within. I don't really do temporary stuff so this category eludes me, any thoughts on cheap options...
  19. Pin Letters - How You Tap Holes

    we get our taps from either Grainger or McMasterCarr. make sure you shop "bottom tap", as it has a flat-head that doesn't require you to punch-thru your hole or leave ~1/8-3/16" untapped bottom of the hole. Typical big box hardware stores will just have the standard taps, with the pointed tips...
  20. Looking For Something Obscure

    not a unicorn. its been available for quite some time. else, pretty much every vinyl supplier should have a photoluminescent vinyl rolls.
